Fenix HL17R Headlamp, White

The Fenix HL17R headlamp in white is a compact and functional device from the Fenix brand, designed for camping, hiking, household tasks, and outdoor activities. The design uses a main white Luminus SST20 LED, surrounded by additional colored emitters. This combination allows for a powerful white beam for illumination and several color modes for signaling, reading, or creating ambiance.

The color temperature of the white light is 6500–7500K, ensuring high contrast and clear contour definition. The headlamp is equipped with a gesture control function: a quick wave of the palm in front of the lens allows you to turn the light on or off without physically touching the buttons. The interface is divided into 2 output groups: the main white group and light effect modes (Scene mode).

Main White Group Modes

• High: 500 lm – 2630 cd – 2 hr 50 min – 100 m;
• Mid: 150 lm – 776 cd – 5 hr 30 min – 55 m;
• Low: 30 lm – 146 cd – 23 hr – 25 m;
• Eco: 5 lm – 25 cd – 96 hr 50 min – 10 m.

Light Effects (Scene mode)

• Reading Mode: 15 lm – 8 hr 55 min;
• Red Constant: 3 lm – 11 hr 35 min;
• Red/Blue Flashing: 3 lm;
• RGB: 2 lm;
• Aurora: 2 lm.

Please note: the runtime in high mode is indicated considering a possible power reduction when overheating protection is triggered — the device automatically reduces light intensity to maintain stable operation. The control system consists of an electronic button on the top of the body and a front rotary switch. There is a lock/unlock function to prevent accidental activation during storage.

Power Supply and Charging

Power is provided by a built-in 1000 mAh Li-ion battery. Operating voltage: 3.0–4.2 V (permissible range 2.8–4.2 V). A charge level indicator informs about the remaining charge and warns of a low level. Charging occurs via the USB Type-C port with the included cable; full charging time is approximately 1 hr 20 min.

Body, Mounting, and Protection

The headlamp body is made of durable plastic with a polycarbonate lens, making the device lightweight — only 65 g with the battery — and sufficiently resistant to everyday loads. The platform withstands drops from a height of up to 1 m. The dust and moisture protection level is IP66: the device is completely dustproof and withstands heavy rain and splashes; the USB-C charging port has internal moisture protection. The headlamp comes with a two-section elastic headband that evenly distributes pressure on the forehead, a built-in magnet for attaching to metal surfaces, and a quick-release rear panel that serves as a clip for attaching to clothing.
